Here is Lennie's,

Well, the name is right. al never could do anything right anyhow.
You might have credided him for his ****up, at least.

own words:

(Lennie the lurker exists to flame, to bait, and to open to ridicule,
then leave to others the shaking remains of my target. Binford Mark V
flame thrower now on "incinerate".)

Taken out of context, and in a group that is and always has been a
glorious flame fest. Why doesn't taking it out of context surprise
me? (Posted on alt.aviation.safety, which is now almost extinct.)


Sorry kraut, but you're wrong again, as usual. The pussy side of the
family, krauts, lives down here, and the men and humans live in the
northern part of the state.

A response to a kraut engineer that presumes to tell someone with more
than 40 years DOING metalworking where I am wrong. Said pete albrecht
no longer posts to RCM, having finally given up on giving newbies dumb
answers to honest questions. I notice you didn't post any part of
pete's postings, probably after you read that as a cessna driver he
has no use for gliders or glider pilots. pete was born in krautland,
raised in Chicago, returned to krautland for 20 years, then infected
the southern queerland area. Haven't heard recently, but I think he's
still in lost angles.

I started reading and posting on USENET about the same time I started
flying gliders - about 1984. Back then, there was net.aviation - one
newsgroup for all of aviation and 50 posts a day was a really big day.
We've grown since the by more than a little and in all that time, not
once have I felt the need for a kill file. Not once! I have one now.
Lennie.... plonk!

P.S. People, if you ignore him, I mean really ignore him, he WILL go away.

Soaring is basically a cluster of rich old conservatives, and they
brought their rich old conservative ideas and attitudes toward
others
with them.

That, ladies and gentlemen, says all you ever need to know about
Lennie the Lurker. One cannot have a dialogue with a person so full
of hate; one can only ignore him. He does not stay out of soaring
because he can't afford it; he stays out of it because he just hates
those who are in it.

I'm reminded (on the positive side) of one of the promising young
pilots at my home gliderport. He's not even 20 and he owns and flies
a 1-26 he bought with the money he made from running the line and
other odd jobs -- no other help, just lots of desire, and nobody
telling him he couldn't do it, no silly idea in his mind that only
rich people can fly gliders.

Adios, Lennie! I'm sure you'll be wasting more disk space on the
newsgroup, but this is the last I will on the subject of you. Go
spend your time on something you are FOR.

I can only speak for one sailport, but the community of pilots there includes a
wide variety of ideas, attitudes, personality types, political persuasions,
lifestyles, income levels and ages, from the youngest permissable to older than
dirt!

When you think about it, other than enjoying home, nature and family, which no
doubt should be given time and appreciation, most adult free-time passions cost
some money. But that doesn't mean that all who participate are rich old people!
Sailing to skydiving, go-carting to golf, rafting, fishing, racing, RC cars,
motorcycling, boating, windsurfing, hang gliding, traveling ... the list goes
on, and most have their own degree of risk/danger. If a person reaches a point
where they no longer feel that the personal rewards are worth the cost or the
risks, they give it up. Nothing wrong with that. But why is it necessary to
continually justify the reasons for leaving, or to knock the activity or put
down those who still participate and enjoy? Not being facetious, but if the
activity were truly no longer of interest, why would a person still spend any
time at all in this newsgroup?
